Wigton Windfarm heading for 90c

June 24, 2019 by IC Insider.com

Wigton Windfarm is slowly moving higher and seems poised to hit 90 cents this week but the real big news is that last week’s performance was a whopper, with a number of last weeks’ Watch List scoring big.
On Friday alone, NCB Financial Group gained a whopping $18.99 to close at $198.99 and Scotia Group gained $4, to close at $59.50. For the week, NCB gained $25 and Scotia $7.25. Sagicor Group came in for some of the increased buying interest, with the planned takeover of the majority of shares in Advantage General Insurance from the NCB Group with the price jumping $3.99 in the week.
Sagicor ETF Fund is now officially seeking fresh capital, some of the big financial stocks could get a further lift as the fund is based on the Jamaica Stock Exchange Financial Market Index.
The gains for the IC Watch list do not end there, on a week that saw the main market All Jamaica Index rocket up 26,698.47 points and the Junior Market falling 16.6 points.

National Commercial Bank pays very low savings rates

Wisynco Group is trading around a PE of 20, based on estimated June 2019 year-end figures. The stock has come in for some selling last week and may trade under $20 for a while. It has the potential to go much higher with more than $1.50 earnings per share expected for the new-year, starting in July.
Barita Investments continues to enjoy strong buying interest as the price firms up around the $45 level and could yet move higher in coming days or weeks. Investors should note that Barita is set to benefit from the upsurge in stock prices since the end of the last quarter, directly as they own listed shares, from increased fee income as a broker with rising trading volumes and from increased fees at the equity linked Unit Trust with increased asset value. As indicated last week, Eppley seems to have demand that should push the price higher during the week as the company is getting set to launch the IPO for the Eppley Property Fund. The stock hit new highs during the week and is worth watching this week. Sygnus Credit Investments did not do much but demand was good for the stock during the past week. Sygnus is a component of the JSE Financial Index, will be one that the Sagicor Fund would mostly add to their holdings. Supplies of Grace Kennedy and Jamaica Producers stocks are very low, but buyers are not aggressive currently.
In the Junior Market, CAC 2000 should be heading for gains with the April quarter profit showing marked improvement over the previous quarter. Elite Diagnostic traded at $4 during the past week and continues to find buying interest around this price.

The new Waterloo Road branch under construction.

Lasco Financial dropped to $4.80 last week, and has just over 1 million units on offer at the last sale price of $4.80 and should move back up once this block is taken out. Lasco Manufacturing has the potential to move higher in the coming weeks. Fontana supply is falling with just a few offers posted at the close on Friday. Honey Bun, Main Event Medical Disposables, Paramount Trading all have potential to rise in the coming weeks. Demand for Stationery and Office is not aggressive currently, but the supply is very short, suggesting it is only a matter of time before the price moves much higher.
